Sodium is an essential element like everything else. I'm consuming far more sodium than the recommended daily, and on check ups my doctor routinely compliments my low blood pressure.
Linking this again:

That article starts with "At this point in time has anyone not heard that eating salt is bad for your blood pressure and overall health? Not likely.". I don't think anybody says salt is bad. This is about the amount a person needs, not whether they need it.
That link is worth reading, but it also states that "[I pressume the word high here] blood pressure does not cause heart attacks" and links to this:
http://healthyfixx.com/7/is-that-blood-pressure-medication-necessary
Which supposedly quotes from a review with " “To date, there is no evidence to support treating patients with uncomplicated hypertension to blood pressure goals lower than the standard blood pressure target of less than or equal to 140 to 160/90 to 100 mmHg.” No evidence? There are REAMS of it.
So, now 160/100 doesn't need to be lowered? That is not a standard BP target at all, where did they get this from--it's major hypertension, not far off from a medical emergency (180/110).

AHA also says that HBP can lead to issues leading to a heart attack:

"Uncomplicated hypertension" is and of itself a complication. It's known as the silent killer because you can have it for years with its damage occurring but no symptoms.
Your first link picks and chooses. Example:
"A 2003 study out of Glasgow revealed the unimpressive results of long term salt restriction, showing an average drop in systolic pressure by 1.1 mmHg and an average drop in diastolic pressure by 0.6 mmHg. [4]" Congrats to them. There are other studies showing far more significant reductions.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2771382/
"In evaluations of hypertensive cohorts, dietary salt restriction lowers systolic BP by 2–10 mm Hg and diastolic BP by 1–6 mm Hg."
Reduction is more notable in those with high BP.
Your second link says treat the cause not symptoms and this is wise, but often the cause is not known--essential hypertension.
Your source's stance on BP is not endorsed by any major medical association I've happened upon, certainly not the american heart association, for example. It reads like the author knows just enough to be dangerous; looking for a study that supports his stance and rejecting those that don't. I dare say a scant few at best cardiologists would endorse his view on blood pressure.
